The Honduran Supercup is a Honduran football competition held yearly as a preseason match between the reigning champions of the Liga Nacional and the Honduran Cup. The competition started in 1997, but it was discontinued after just two seasons. In 2015, it was intended to be reactivated, however the match between C.D. Motagua and Club Deportivo Olimpia was scheduled but not played. One year later, a new Supercup edition was finally reestablished after 17 years of dormancy, this time though, facing the last two league champions.

In 2014 and 2016, there were three exhibition versions of the tournament re-branded as Supercopa Diez, sponsored by local daily sports newspaper Diario Deportivo Diez. These unofficial editions faced the champions of the Liga Nacional against the champions of the Liga de Ascenso.
